What time would a shadow be at its longest?
That depends where you are on the planet. Your shadow would be longest if you were standing on a rotational pole at the time of equinox. At this point your shadow would be infinity long as it would be "projected" into space. However as a rule of thumb one's shadow is longest when the sun is rising or setting but high enough to cast your shadow.

When are you in the Moon's shadow?
During a solar eclipse. --- ANSWER --- A Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. The shadow cast by the Moon falls on the earth during 'daytime'. Because the Moon is just the right distance from the Sun it can cover it completely for a very short time as it passes across it's face.
What time of year are shadows longest?
Summer would probably have the the shortest shadow because the sun is right over us and winter would have the longest because the sun isn't right over us. The length of the shadow really doesn't depend on the seasons. It is really about where the sun is in the sky. But in order for there to be an actual shadow, the sun must be visible. So in summer you would find the most shadows but not the longest. You can get a long shadow in any season as long as the sun shines.
